Merge branch 'misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild

Pull coccinelle updates from Michal Marek:
 "The misc branch is reserved for Coccinelle this time:

   - 'report' is the default mode
   - MAINTAINERS update for Coccinelle
   - documentation udate
   - use new option format for spatch(1)
   - J=<n> variable to mimic make -j for coccicheck
   - check for missing pci_free_consistent() calls

  There are some patches for rpm-pkg and deb-pkg waiting for the
  3.12-rc1 merge window"

* 'misc' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild:
  Coccinelle: Update information about the minimal version required
  Coccinelle: Update the options used to the new option scheme
  scripts: Coccinelle script for pci_free_consistent()
  Coccinelle: Update the documentation
  Coccinelle: Update section of MAINTAINERS
  coccicheck: span checks across CPUs
  scripts/coccinelle: check for field address argument to kfree
  Coccinelle: Update the Coccinelle section of MAINTAINERS
  Coccinelle: Make 'report' the default mode
